30 weeks

My 30 week check-up went well. The glucose test came back normal, the baby is measuring at 30 weeks (please pray that he will continue to be of 'normal' size...haha), his heart rate is normal, and he is finally positioned correctly (his head dropped!). My blood pressure is still normal and no swelling in the feet or hands. I am praying for our continued health throughout the rest of the pregnancy as well as through the birth.

Speaking of birth I discussed with my doctor my birthing preferences and when the next ultrasound will be. Her first question is if I planned on using any pain medication. HA! Of course I will....gimme all you got! Okay....so maybe I didn't say it like that exactly. But I do choose to have an epidural. Ladies, I don't see how you can give birth without one! As of now we are planning another ultrasound at 36 weeks to check the size and development state. I was induced with Jeffrey at 38 week and he weighed 9 lbs and had the shoulder_dystocia experience. Luckily he had no lasting effects as a result. Taking this history into consideration my doctor has offered the option of an induction at 39 weeks if needed.

As a side note we did start painting the nursery last weekend but ended up disliking the color we chose for the borders and shelves in the room. We are planning to finish up this weekend if all goes well. I will post pics soon.

Thanks for reading!
